>>14161298I was autistic and missed by developmental milestones by a mile, not sure how you were correctly diagnosed with autism if the syndrome literally dictates that symptoms must be present in the early developmental period.
People thought I was actually retarded while I was reading 3 grade levels ahead. They were SURE I was LARPing and just wanted to look like a big kid since I never actually said anything that I read.
>>14161346Your psychiatrist is retarded IDK or maybe it's just inevitable that an increasing amount of people will get diagnosed with autism every year to ensure psychiatrists have more money. Anti-psychotics aren't even an autism treatment.
As to "losing your autism diagnosis" things don't work that way the DSM is built around grift not around objectivity. I cite from the DSM-V Autism criteria " Individuals with a well-established DSM-IV diagnosis of autistic disorder, Asperger’s disorder, or pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified should be given the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder."
If you want it scrubbed from your health record do the following
>sob sob mr psychiatrist>I don't use any psychiatric services for autism>I was doing good at a job but when a doctor found out I was autistic they started forcing me to do menial work and I quit>I don't want to be diagnosed as autistic anymoreThe more you learn about psychiatric diagnosis the more you realize that it's a scam and a meme that has become real through the sheer force of meme magic since it is true that there is a subset of people who act more "autistic" than others but the entire industry around it nowadays exists mostly for the sake of massaging psychiatrists egos and making them money and them stating without evidence that their interventions are needed to give these kiddos a future.
